UPS Beats Profit Estimates on Higher-Paying Customers

Reuters2022-07-26

(Reuters) - United Parcel Service Inc on Tuesday reported a better-than-expected quarterly profit as the largest U.S. parcel carrier focused on more lucrative shipments to offset cooling e-commerce delivery growth.

As domestic deliveries started to recede, delivery firms such as UPS and FedEx Corp (FDX.N) pivoted to higher-paying small businesses and enterprise customers to drive volumes and earnings.

Since taking charge of UPS in June 2020, Chief Executive Officer Carol Tome has pushed the company to adopt a "better, not bigger" strategy, which prioritizes lucrative deliveries over volume.

E-commerce shipments fell from pandemic highs as COVID safety protocols lifted and shoppers reprioritized spending due to higher rent, food and fuel costs.

The company reaffirmed its full-year outlook.

Atlanta-based UPS posted second-quarter adjusted earnings of $3.29 per share, ahead of analysts' estimate of $3.16, according to Refinitiv data.

Revenue rose 5.7% to $24.76 billion, beating estimates of $24.63 billion.
